One of those films that have been on my to-do list forever and one of the few horror classics from the 70s that I had yet to see .. that I can think of anyways. I read the book when I was a teenager so the story was familiar. Still, I somehow thought the movie would feel cheap compared to the book, but it may actually be the other way round. I had a lot more sympathy for Carrie watching the movie than I did the book, although that could have something to do with age as well.
In the end, it's a well made film, exciting, spooky, engaging and entertaining from start to finish. Recommended to all who think they might like that sort of stuff.

I just cannot get on with Carrie. I have watched the film twice and I find it horribly dated and Sissy Spacek (whom I admire as an actress) just annoys the frig out of me throughout.
